Fairfax Church of Christ

I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. - Philemon, verse 6.

The Bible teaches that the church is to be an active, living body of believers working together in serving Jesus. Our ministries not only provide opportunities to be served, but provide opportunities for Christians to share with others. Get involved in the body of Christ!

Here are many of our ministries. What is God leading you to do? Search the list below, or talk to someone on staff about your unique gift(s) & desired ministry area. Beside the name of the broad ministry area, you'll find the name of the staff person or deacon serving over that area. You are free to contact that person, but we recommend you contact someone directly involved in the specific ministry in which you're interested. Beside the name of the specific ministries, you'll find the name or names of the ministry leaders. You can then log into MemberNet to locate their contact information. If you are visiting our church, and thus do not yet have a MemberNet signon, then please contact the office for information on how to serve in any ministry you see below.
